Hardline was so slept on, the fact every base game map has levolution, a very straightforward customisation system that allowed for lots of experimentation and less grinding, and the overall charm of the multiplayer was so good, I’ll never forget playing as a criminal and giving a cop the finger while spraying him with an MP7
And you could spray your tags which was very cool
Customization was great too! You could recolor the weapons with all kinds of camo patterns and all uniforms too
Couldn’t agree more, and dare I say it, I didn’t hate the single player campaign either. Even though it has no relation to any other Bf game in terms of the moment to moment progression and feel, it was cool as hell for doing something different, imo.
Slept on because it was absolutely terrible
@SolidBoss7 canpaign was fun, didn't take itself too serious and had some famous actors and the way the made it as more of a cop tv show was fun to digest.
this was the most underrated game in the last 20 years. The lack of marketing was pitiful. I wish it would come back.
this was the epitome of battlefield not taking itself too seriously and being fun
I wish Halo could do that today, too.
@@MachFiveFalcon honestly... I wish games focus on the gameplay much more, the atmosphere is good and all... but did I injoy it?
And everyone hated on it back then.
How time flies and people look back on something fondly that on release was ripped apart by a majority of the fan base.
Edit: But I'm happy that jack uploaded a video on it, just recently bought it and started playing it after ryes video on it and some people talking about wanting to revive it, could get that process going a bit better
regrettably the only BF I didn't buy due to them putting it out in 720p instead of 1080p for consoles. Just noped it based on that alone. Noped out of principle.
@educatedHQ I love battlefield but this and 2042 are by far the least battlefield feeling. Other than the couch car you didn't miss much.
Never clicked on a video this fast.
Hardline was so slept on.
What does that mean?
@@thefearlessduckmeans alot of people hated on it or outright ignored it, more than it deserved
The most underrated BF ever. Loved playing this game.
Can't remember why people hated on this game tbh
@@Starfish360 Most likely because it is not battlefield that everybody is used to. If they would used different name for the game, there might be less hate.
@@Starfish360 I remember the biggest gripe being "it's not realistic" when I personally felt like it was trying to be a 90's cop/vice action movie over anything else
Loved it as well.
@@Starfish360
this the one
Some of the most fun I had in a Battlefield was in BF Hardline. I know not a lot liked it but great memories! Thanks for the video :)
Thanks for the visit!
dude i loved the fact that you could do drive by’s. it was better than gta 5! battlefield and gta 5 mixed together!
Time flies man great game
To you and those 40 peeps still playing, TY. I did a little bit of work on that title at Redwood, and its awesome to see people still love it. I think it was one of the best BF ideas by far, but was drowned out by simultaneous releases
Can’t agree more that people got caught up in the World War releases just to be disappointed again when they didn’t enjoy what we had. And then they were disappointed when Bf1 died and the cycle repeats, etc. We have to learn to appreciate battlefield for what it is in its currents stage before it’s gone and we regret not having fun
It’s truly a shame that people didn’t like Hardline, for whatever reason. It’s a really great game, and so much fun to play!
It was so much fun
I still play it on my Xbox. I actually prefer it over every BF game after bf3
The biggest mistake were calling it Battlefield. It should have had it's own name, so people didn't think it were a BF 4 spin-off which it weren't.
I was bartending and got home at 3am on the weekends and would play this till the sun came up sometimes with a squad of randoms I started to notice in the same servers every night. We finally became friends and starting playing together. We were running the lobby and I had so much fun! Hope they’re doing good wherever and whoever they are.
I had a similar experience with bf1. Played with a group, we were always top of the server, like a force of nature. I miss bf1 so much. And bf5. And 3. Not 4 though.
@@beastabuelos6421bf4? It's the best of All lol
@@beastabuelos6421hey you used to play with Ekolimits on PS4!
@@beastabuelos6421 BF4 was objectively better than BF1 and BF5 combined.
immediately clicked on this.
same
Everytime
Same😂😂😂
Well duh
Its the law! @@The_Post-It-Note
God I love Hardline so much. Deserves another chance, either a sequel or something to revive the old game. Just yesterday there were less than 50 worldwide. Hopefully your video breathes some life into it.
This game had so many good maps we'll probably never see again... Dust Bowl, Downtown, Code Blue, Diversion, Double Cross, Alcatraz, Cemetery, Chinatown were some of my faves I'll never forget
I know! I wish I could play them again. Sucks that it's so dead and looks like crap on Xbox.
Museum was a highlight for me too
Chinatown was a Tehran Market remake, so that might return one day.
crazy seeing Bank Job missing from this good list.
that one that had a beach villa and the snow map with museums I think, they were gems too.
The fact it still got servers is crazy good to see people still loving it though as it was a class game
Hardline not sure why so few people liked Hardline when it came out. It was basically all the fun bits of BF thrown together in an urban setting.
It was cuz bad company 3 got skipped
It was because the entitled BF community hated the cops and robbers theme. If it's not what "they" think BF should be it's crap. Just like Firestorm in BFV.
IIRC its because on release there were a LOT of really unbalanced weapons and mechanics that people would consistently abuse which made the game really unfun to play. Then it kind of snowballed because it started getting a lot of hate from 'influencers' before they could fix things.
it's because it wasn't a battlefield game. This is when the franchise started to become COD Lite.
@@RoadSparrowThis is the only correct answer. Notice when Jack hopped into the vehicle while it was doing 200km/h? That's CoD-style gameplay right there.
Oh man, Thanks for playing this game again Jack. When this game released it was my first streaming session on Twitch & after streaming for 24 Hours straight a became the number player in the world and it was such a joy to play this game. Sadly it tanked after a while but I have some core memories with this game. Thanks for sharing Jack!
This is an unapologetically brilliant game. Used to love playing this back in like 2016 times. What a game. Loved the maps, loved the guns, loved the game modes Rescue and Blood Money. Cheers for posting some BFH, might have to fire it up again soon.
Fire it up man! People still play on Xbox, I love it, something different!
Dude we need to make sure they keep sever support, more of us should play this game again!
It was my first ever fps. I ended up getting gold camo for the mp5sd. That gun for a long time was my most favourite in general because of hardline.
Only the real ones remember the driving couch
I forgot all about it till now. I dont even remember where to find it lmaoo. I was drunk and high the first time i saw it. Imagine what my reaction was.
im still playin 😂
2015: Worst game ever
2024: This game bussin, cant believe y'all let it die lol
This happens with loads of games for some reason. Farcry 2 or CoD world at war comes to mind.
BF 2042 opened everyone's eyes to how good previously considered "bad" Battlefield titles were. I always thought Hardline was a fun and unique BF experience, while still maintaining some of what makes BF so special (vehicles, destruction, etc.).
@@BipolarBLKSheep to be fair 2042 is generally being more well viewed now because of the updates.
@@Dragonfury3000doesn't matter, they've forgotten how to make good rush games
Was all i played in 2015. Wish the community gave it a real chance !!!
i have fond memories of playing Hardline on the Xbox One. Hardline was super underrated and is one of the few Battlefield games that i have played for the entire life cycle of the game from beta until it was superseded by BF1. Back in the day, Everyone automatically shat all over Hardline without ever giving it a chance. They wouldn't let Hardline just be its own thing.
We didn't deserve this game, and did it dirty. We didn't realize what a gift it was to have a Battlefield GTA V, or Battlefield Payday. It was infantry combat with just light vehicle combat, and it is something I would love to see right now, especially with all the OP vehicles in other Battlefield games.
It’s like Battlefield technical cavalry
This game is how I found this YT channel my favorite battlefield game wish more people played the dlc maps on ps4
This game was so good. The maps and gameplay were amazing . The DLC maps were some of the best maps I’ve ever played
Right! I marveled at those maps. They were truly inspired. It would be a travesty to not revisit some of them. I'm pining for a remake or reimagining bc it was pure fun and style and skill all mixed together.
my quickest upvote on one of your vids, vicereal was such a good studio.
I regret not playing this game a lot
I honestly thought this was a Portal custom mode. Aged like fine wine!
I want to play this
Yep this game was awesome
You and me both. I never gave it a chance
i feel like a traitor for playing 2042 but not the hardline.....
This was the first Battlefield I ever played and it was so much fun. I love how every gun has bullet drop, it made long distance sniping so rewarding. Hitting a head shot aiming an inch above someone's head was an amazing feeling.
All of the others are the same.
I still play Hardline so as soon as I saw the notification I clicked lickety spilt!
I sunk hours into this game on PS4, shame to see it's pretty much died out by now
Aye are there any active servers at all on playstation?
@@MapleApache wouldn't know, sold my playstation a while ago
@@MapleApache last time I checked, it had one TDM Server with a few players... :(
same lol i was part of a clan called sdc back in like 2016-2018 havent played since
Just within the past week I was playing Hardline on PS4, feeling sad that the premium maps were basically lost to history due to the desolate servers. And now Jack uploads a video of CAPTURE THE BAG ON THIN ICE.
I genuinely remember thinking to myself "Capture The Bag on Betrayal maps has probably been played by about a dozen people in history".
I really hope this video boosts player counts a little. This was the right game that released at the wrong time, man.
That last sentence i agree with. I love BFH. I wish it was more populated
how many players still play on ps4?
"The right game released at the wrong time" never in life were spoken truer words
Most days I'm on its usually just a downtown 24/7 server but I think because of this video there were more servers (a couple of rescues and a conquest on all maps). Maybe once in a blue moon you'll find a dlc server with barely enough players for it to start
@@xXDavidGT5Xx This
Hardline was something else, something new and i really loved it. Support with shield on the back was best. Good stuff Jack
I love the more urban environments/verticality, smoother terrain, and greater focus on faster, lighter vehicles like sports cars. I'd love to see another Battlefield game like that today, whether it's Cops vs. Robbers or another reason to justify the "war at home" vibe.
Been playing Hardline lately, my favorite just because it was my best BF. Deleted all the other Battlefields, just been having fun with this!
It has the best gunplay, songs, driving mechanics, game modes, and community by far. Battlefield Hardline is very underrated and I'm glad that people have come back to it after the 2042 disaster. The PS4 population has always been stable and good to find matches on for many gamemodes, I'm glad Jack is going back and showing it off a bit.
hmmm
Does this have a good player base ps5/ps4 now? I might jump back on it again
@@DBearIt From what I'm getting it is still quite stable but small. If you live in Europe you have a good selection in servers, mostly conquest and hotwire unfortunately. But last year when I last played it, when I started a Heist or Blood Money lobby at a good hour let's say around 15:00h it filled up very fast.
wym that the playstation population has always been stable??? There's legit only one full server every time i try to play and it's always a Downtown 24/7 playlist
He means that's it's been low but stable over time, that the numbers haven't changed too much@@rolltideroll8458
Hardline was on od my favorite BF games. It has some of the best maps Dice ever came out with. The DLC maps were in my opinion the best maps Dice ever made. At one point in time i was ranked 7th in the US for kills with the ACR, i had put in alot of time. Its felt great jumping into a losing team and sweep the winning team to a loss. By far one of the better BF games that i wish more people played.
Jack: You brought a sword?!
PartWelsh: (With the most proud voice ever) YESS! :DDD
AHAHAHA I DIED AND WAS JUST ABOUT TO MAKE THAT VERY COMMENT
Congratulations dude you can hear the video. No need to re-type it
@@НААТ You are not wrong! It was just a fun moment I really liked and wanted to express. It is okay if you didn't like it. Have an awesome day! =)
@@НААТ why be a douche just let the dude enjoy himself lol
I read that as it was happening in the video 😂😂
By far my favorite battlefield, this game taught me how to play battlefield, especially sniping , redownloading and going for some playtime for sure
I always loved this game from the beginning. I was confused when many people discretided the game years ago.
It was an honor to fight along side you today Jack!!! Everyone said it wasn’t you but I knew it had to be. So cool I got to see myself in your video :)
I feel bad for the guy that nearly got Jacks tags.
You're not going to get that chance everyday, and he was so close 😂
Glad you guys are still having fun keeping that one server alive. They don't make games like this anymore. Shame it got pooped on at the time. You'd be playing with more people RN
How populated is Hardline now? I'm debating picking it up again
@@thomasspencer3233 its exactly as Jack showed at the end of the video. Only that 1 server is ever popping and the most it ever gets is 50 players. It’s an European server so kind of sucks for us Americans. Still amazing to play every once in a while that’s for sure!
@@glowingrock7697 its suprising though honestly, back in 2018-2019 this game still had a bunch of servers for blood money and heist with a good amount of players..guess people moved away from it when bf5 released or something
Flying the chopper on downtown made me fall in love with the little bird, flying under the street tunnel to evade stingers and choppers was just 🤌
I loved this game. In college my roommates and I would each be in our own rooms on our own PS4 and be in a squad together playing this game. We played it so much. I miss simpler times like that
I loved this game. I would switch between 4 and hardline. Hardline was so much fun
oh man mannn. Jack just made my year by making this video. Bfh has the deepest of my love. I dont care if it resembles the bf formula or not, I loved the gameplay EVERYBIT. ❤❤
This was prime Battlefield and I miss it.. where did the ideas go, the fun, the real love for a good story of battlefield!
This game was actually peak. Not traditional Battlefield by any means, but it was cool to see the Battlefield DNA in another setting. Speeding down the road, leaning out windows, ziplining between buildings while carrying bags of cash, teams fighting to get to the top floor of skyscrapers... it was all so much fun.
Excellent game overall. Sadly, I think the only thing that can bring the servers back to life is making it F2P with all the DLC.
good to see people still play older battlefeild games
bf4 is live everyday
Just played bf2 yesterday💜 still the best bf
We have no choice
Such an under rated bf bro. People were to harsh on hardline. Like whenever i play i always am smiling and laughing becuase its just all the types of battlefield moments in one game and so mant goofy things to kill people with. And the maps are amazing.
How can this still look so much better than 2042.
I know it's trendy to hate 2042, but let's not be fucking idiots about it lmao
@@Tunobe862042 looks worse than bf3 at times 😂
Woke bullshit
@@Tunobe86Yeah
I love the graphics of Hardline but I am playing 2042 on ultra with raytracing so I really have to see how Hardline looks better. I am installing now...
Crazy how fast 9 years goes by, glad I was a teenager when all the good battlefields and call
Of duty’s were out, everything now is just different- I played battlefield 4 for a whole five years
Definitely need a game like this again was such an underrated game had its issues but such good content
I played alot of BF and COD games in the past years till now and its need to be said that this one is very very special and close to my heart because of how light and funny it was, massively slept on when it came out. Hoping for a remake soon I wish
This game is actually a favorite for me!
Me to.the most joy I had in all the battlefield i have played
Yes definitely I love this game I had good time playing it too
@@FrankTheLegend72 2015 was a good year
I’ve played this for a couple months and it’s actually really fun. Where it shines is in the alternate game modes, especially Blood Money and Hotwire.
this game is one of my all time favorites. bank job was so much fun
I'm redownloading it tonight to have some fun, time to have some happy memories come back
Are there still players?
WOO! The 6:18 part i so good, that is looks like a directed scene. Amazing how fun this is.
Hardline was by far my favorite wish the US had servers that were at least close to full. I'd buy it along with all the DLC's again and play it. This game will always have a place in my heart.
Do more bf vids! Bf3 bf4 bf1... bring back the memories
Bf2142
BF5
Just the voiceline at 2:20 is so nostalgic. Poured 1000's of hours into this game and unlocked everything on multiple accounts with a buddy. Favourite Battlefield game I've ever played, was just pure fun. People cared too much about the setting of the game that they couldn't let themselves enjoy it out of spite, really sad.
14:51 I was surprised to meet you in the game. My best moment in BF Hardline
I'm still praying Jack hops on BF4 on PS4 some time 🙏
Rewarded for keeping a great game alive.
This was my very first battlefield game and I loved it at the time. It wasn't until I played the other BF games that I realized why the fan base didn't like the game for the most part, but I still appreciate the raw fun that I had playing it. Would definitely hop back on if the servers were still decently populated.
BfH was one of the GREATES Battlefields of all time. Change my mind
I’ve never understood why people disliked this game, I always enjoyed playing it.
Yeeees Jack! More older bf games!
Wild trying to find other members in the comments lol
I tried playing it a couple weeks ago... 3 servers and 0 people on any of them. If people coordinate specific times to play, I'd love to join.. it's one of the best BF games ever made..
I played the other day on some server and some dude accues me of cheating and banned/flagged me from his server.
So no more mutiplayer for me. He was mad I was doing so well 😂. Good luck finding a game
I tried on Xbox a few days ago. Not even a whiff of a person
literally one of their most fun games. the driving for me made it stand out and the money system is genius
I liked Hardline, admittedly I only play the open beta
Most underrated BF ever, I literally played this in PS3 and there was so many people playing it too, I don't think there will be people playing it if I booted it up now but it was so fun, I hope that they think about a Hardline 2 but seeing how fans reacted to Hardline 1 I don't know if it'll ever be considered but BFH is definitely better than 2042
Seeing Hardline dead makes me very sad
Same
It's gonna die if you don't play it
My fav battlefield of all time I always go back to play it here and there for nostalgia 💙💯
0:15 average police in US
We wish
If only
So underrated, was also my introduction to BF and I ended up reaching max level, the gold camo looked good on guns as well, the unlockables were a lot of fun to achieve, and was fun to use said achieved item/weapon
I miss this game so much
It really makes me sad this is so dead. It didn't seem worth the purchase at the time, but I bought the one month subscription for $5.99 and now there's no one to play with.
Sad times my dude 😢
@@therealevo88 Actually I found out my filters defaulted to show only North American servers. I found a European server to play on.
So good to see BFH still my favorite Battlefield. Best maps that gave balance to different play styles. Please get the hype train to get this game back rolling
Hardline 2.. who says no?
This was my 2nd favourite Battlefield (I don't care what you say) and loved playing it.
1000 times better than 2042
True
Nah
I think Hardline and Advanced Warfare are examples of a over-privileged gamerbase that is ungrateful. Both games had a lot of character and were a lot of fun
i remember the good old days of Xfactor, jack, matimio, whoever else, just having a blast on BF Hardline and 4. great memories, keep it up jack!
Every Battlefield was Battlefield before BF2042 . Who else agree ??🙋
PLEASE hop back on yall this game is fire
This game was so underrated. Battlefield 1 copied so many mechanics from this game simply because they worked so well.
But the toxic PC playerbase basically burried this game on launch. Clowns
I really liked this game from day one.
There’s some idiots in the fps community that have to play one game at the time and hate everything else.
If you are one of those that played BF3/4 and hardline at the same time, you really enjoyed this game. So much fun
I loved this battlefield, would play it every day after school. The maps are the best in the whole series for me
"Perhaps we treated you too harshly"
I still remember when I first saw someone driving a couch. I was laughing my ass off. I just see a blur go by me and I was like, "Was that a couch?"
i downloaded hardline immediately after seeing this video, unfortunately 9 months later there isnt much but the memories of grinding the piss out of blood money. best of times
This looks so much more fun than 2042.
That said, still waiting for a proper historical BF title like BF1 2.0
i know this game was criticized at launch because it wasnt the traditional military battlefield but i think everyone that actually played it looks on this game extremely fondly. good maps good vehicle physics great gunplay and just a really fun gameplay loop. and personally the cops and robbers thing was super fun to me as a kid
Definitely not everyone. I got it on release and thought it was pretty meh, I think the clan I was in at the time went back to BF4 within 2 weeks.
"Are you dead?"
"Ohhh VERY Dead yeah!" 😵
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man i would kill for a remaster of this, so many hours put into this.
I loved hardline. The gameplay was so fun and the cops and robbers premise was a cool concept. Loved heist mode. This game was always a great time back in the day !
I always felt like Hardline's (subjective) balancing issues were like the only big strike against it. The UI was sleek, it had my favorite version of the Battlefield Theme, the weapon handling and audio were really great, it had The Couch, the maps all had a lot of love put into their designs and lighting, even just small touches like the FPS hands were really nice to enjoy. The two sides having an entirely separate second pack of VO depending on the sub-faction was also a really nice touch (at least outside of the PS3/360 versions)
So what if it was a lower-key spinoff? It had its own theme and identity and I felt like it slam dunked with it
This game needs to come back 😭. I want to unlock everything and play on full servers again
This flooded so many memories back!! Instantly remembered this map in first 3 sec. What a gem.
The good ol days... Back when Battlefield made GREAT games.
One of my favorite titles but SOO many BF fans hated on it and never gave it a chance
Me and my father used to play this in it's prime...It hurts so much that it's dead now. I'd love to buy it on pc and relive the nostalgia, even if it was against bots
Hardline was awesome. I love the cops vs robbers dynamic and would love to see a future BF game have it or be a sequel.
Game was incredible!!! Deserved more love from the community!!!
Only Battlefield game I ever played at launch🤣🤣since watching your channel I learned of other Battlefield games and played them a few years ago!
